"My concern is that if your collection of apps can't
motivate people to buy the platform, the only alternative is
to ride this pricing war to the bottom," said Miller.

And there lies disaster, he argued, because Windows tablets
can't compete on price alone. "[Windows tablets] must split
the pie three ways, Microsoft, Intel and the ODM [original
device manufacturer]. There's no way they can compete on
price with Android, where only the ODM has to make money."

Interesting. Just when you think
you have heard about every
possible negative feature of
Windows 8, there is always
something more. There is just no
end to it. I feel sorry for any
poor sucker who actually bought
a WART.
